# Horn Tooters Get Warning ## Many Complaints Filed by Police Police Chief Bart Riley Tuesday appealed to Butte motorists, especially youths of high school age, to refrain from unnecessarily sounding their automobile horns late at night or during the early-morning hours. "We have received," Chief Riley said, "numerous complaints from men employed on the night shifts in the mines and also from men on the day shifts, that youngsters are making it difficult for drivers along the streets sounding their horns without need. This is especially true of certain drivers who are equipped with what are known as 'musical horns.' These same drivers make a habit of answering each other's horn salutations. Men employed in the mines who are contributing so much to the war effort, need undisturbed rest and I appeal to all motorists not to sound their horns without reason." The police chief added that if his appeal did not achieve results, officers will be instructed to make arrests. --- ## Enlists in Navy Herman Calvin Baldauf, 21, son of Mrs. Mary Baldauf, 124d Short street, has enlisted in the Navy at the Butte Navy recruiting station Tuesday.

Waskesiu, first Canadian-built frigate, has destroyed a Nazi U-boat and brought back 19 survivors as war prisoners, the Navy announced Tuesday night. Heavy seas were raging on its way undisturbed after the frigate depth-charged the sub and brought it to the surface before the mercy of a gun crew. The gunnery force shot away the conning tower, cutting off the U-boat gunners from their weapon. The submarine was sunk in 11 minutes. --- ## Hollywood Film Shop **By ERNEST FOSTER** *United Press Staff Correspondent* HOLLYWOOD—(B)—Both have a long background in the show business. Both have rows, both admire each other's work as performers. But it is the fact that they wear identical upper plates of false teeth that has developed a Damon and Pythias friendship between Bing Crosby and Johnson of the Olsen-Johnson act. Between scenes on the set of a sound stage at Universal studios, where the Olsen and Johnson mystery comedy, "The Ghost Catchers," is being filmed, the two comics love to take out their teeth and admire and compare them. "Wonderful things," Johnson remarks, "look at that engineering triumph." "Ah, but look at this suspension," says Callett, opening his mouth and pointing upward. "It's a real firm set," adds Johnson, with a note of pride. "I've had 14." "Used to lose mine at first," Crosby says. Johnson: "Once I put 'em in my pants back pocket, then sent the suit to the cleaners. Ruined 'em. Had to have a new set built. Got 16." "Lose 'em often?" Crosby asks. "Know," Callett observes. "You get a little off-stage, hit yourself, get hydrophobia and died. You get off lucky. I lost mine once. Could not find 'em for a week. Finally turned up in the hut box. Never did remember how they got in there." The teeth Johnson lost appeared in 'Boca o 'Fun,' Otto recalls. Right into the footlights. Scared me to death. Thought they'd been broken. I stopped what I was doing, reached down, picked them up and wiped them off. Put them back in. Then went right on with the song I was doing with Olsen as if nothing had happened. The audience howled." "Mine fell out, too, once," Callett says, "and I made some money on the gig." [illegible] the company. "I was in Caliente playing roulette," Callett explains. "I was a lucky streak. Everything I did was right. I just couldn't lose. I hit a number and laughed out loud when I raked in the chips. My teeth fell out on the table and landed on No. 17. And believe it or not, the wheel stopped on 17." "And did they pay off?" "Did they? That single bet paid off. The croupier handed the money across. The house said I owed me 36 sets of false teeth. But since he didn't have that many on hand, he'd pay the equivalent in dollars." --- ## Ward Inquest to Be Held Today An inquest into the death of Robert (Bobby) Ward, four-and-one-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Ward, Jr., 618 West Quartz, will be conducted at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon by Acting Coroner Richard Rogers.

During his long career as an electrician he was foreman of the construction of the first power line from Ennis to Bozeman, he installed machinery at Spokane, Washington and at Mammoth mine, the lighting system at Nevada City and worked on power and lighting systems at Virginia City and other mining communities for Montana Power company. In later life Wilson retired and moved to Butte. #### Active in Sports Throughout his life he was keenly interested in sports and took part in ball. As a pitcher he played in Minnesota, at Spokane and along the coast. When he came to Montana he continued playing ball and was active in various other sports clubs.

"The sum was divided between these two," officials said, "and Ameling and Buteau came to Butte to exchange the certificates for modern bills." While in a Butte tavern, one of the men purchased a drink and obtained his change. The bartender later another bill was presented in payment for a drink and the tavern operator becoming suspicious. In the bills, Butte officials confirmed, added. Butte officers contacted Phillipsburg, who in turn made an investigation of Phillipsburg. It was not until after Buteau and Ameling had been arrested that officials said, that the theft of the money was discovered. Mrs. Ameling admitted the theft, officials said, and Phillipsburg officers were asked to apprehend the two alleged thieves. The two men were arrested and returned to Phillipsburg. The case was originally handled with the theft in justice court Tuesday and bound over to the district court, where they appeared Tuesday before Judge H. F. McHugh who heard the pleas and sentenced the Amelings and set bond for Dawson. #### Reserves Jurisdiction In suspending sentence on Mr. and Mrs. Ameling, the court reserved jurisdiction of the two with the right to revoke in the event the couple were again involved in trouble with the law. The court took cognizance of the couple's four children in weighing judgment. Mr. Longhini, a miner in the Phillipsburg region for more than 15 years, apparently had a sum of approximately $900, all of which was in the old-time bank notes. When he was admitted to Butte he was retained one roll of $100 with which to pay his expenses. The other rolls, about $200 each, wrapped in some bed-rolls are missing, a suspicious not checked. Longhini, who had been ill a long time was fast failing in health and was not aware of his loss, officials said, until after Mrs. Ameling had confessed the theft to the sheriff. In the meantime the body of Mr. Longhini is at the Wilson funeral home in Phillipsburg awaiting funeral arrangements. --- ## Peripheral items **DAY AND NIGHT CLASSES** — Advertisement for Laura Brininstool College, offering day school and commercial departments, day and evening. **BUY and TRY DUTCH GIRL BREAD** — Advertisement for Dutch Girl Bread, vitamin enriched, delivered fresh daily, with mention of The Paddock, 3715 Harrison Avenue, Beer, Wine, Liquors, Evening Liquors, Wines and Beer. **SOCIAL At K.
